Most Expensive Jewelry Worldwide

When it comes to the most expensive jewelry worldwide, we consider a highly selective group, royalty. The precious designs costing fortunes are reserved for royalty, possibly over generations. Through family history, these ornaments have gone through normal wear and tear that led to glitches in heritage integrity, but also alternations according to their owner’s will.

Here are ten most expensive jewelry worldwide:

Empress Eugenie’s Bow Brooch

This stunning diamond-encrusted jewelry was from Francois Kramer, circa 1855.Originally designed as an old mine European-cut diamond openwork sculpted bow, Napoleon III made this gorgeous piece for his wife, Empress Eugenie. In a private sale negotiated by Christie’s New York, this brilliant jewelry piece was sold to Henri Loyrette, President of Louvre.

The Laurence Graff Ring

Christie’s is a well-known hub for rare exquisite jewelry collections. English jeweler Laurence Graff bought this $2.6 Million ring during their auction. The octagonal shape of this diamond makes this ring to be one-of-a-kind, increasing rarity value quotient.

The Bulgari Ring

Redefining elegance and marking a noteworthy presence, this rare blue diamond ring is a Bulgari custom-designed ring from a European collector from 1960s. The owner gifted his $2.9 Million. The blue diamond used in her ring has been rated as uppermost grading for a colored diamond. It’s considered to be one of the most expensive jewelry items in the world.

Hailing its origin from mines of Golconda, this jewel is one of the most expensive ever sold at an auction. This extravagant piece focuses on a pear-shaped Golconda diamond ring, and presented at Sotheby’s Magnificent Jewels and Jadeite Autumn sale of 2011. Certification of Excellent Polish and Symmetry has been awarded to this diamond by Gemological Institute of America (GIA).

Wallis Simpson’s Panther Bracelet

Owned by King Edward VIII at one point, this sophisticated piece of jewelry was considered to have added grace to Madonna’s jewelry collection.

Emerald and Diamond Tiara

The mention of this tiara as a belonging to wife of Emperor Napoleon III of France is apocryphal. This beautifully intricate design consists of a row of eleven polished pear-shaped emeralds at about 500 carats in total.

Bulgari Two-Stone Diamond Ring

The two fairly large diamonds allowed this ring to be added as one of the priciest worldwide. Crafted in 1972 from a Bulgari collection, this mesmerizing beauty after an intense bidding war, was bought by an extremely wealthy Asian collector.

The Wittelsbach-Graff Diamond

The rare diamond originated from the Kollur mines of Guntur District in Andhra Pradesh, India.
